Whether you’re a new or regular AirBNB user, you’ll have a great time staying at Kara’s place at this relaxing condo in a quiet area of Bangkok. This was my second time staying in a room hosted by the lovely Kara, a 5-star host who has proven once again that she is very attentive and focused on providing a comfortable experience for all guests. While I never met her in person, Kara immediately radiates a genuine warmth and welcoming sense of compassion in her communications. For instance, I made a last minute request for early check-in, and she was quick, and concise, in identifying the earliest possibility to check in, drop my b ags, and handle urgent errands.
Moreover, when I needed to make a last-minute request to extend my booking by 3 nights, Kara was quick to offer good news and simple, user-friendly guidance on the rate/per day and user-friendly payment options. My last-minute decision was causing me significant anxiety, and her calm, helpful messages put me at ease, allowed me to handle the extension quickly, and finally have a rest, completely exhausted after 24 hours of stressful moving on an incredibly hot day. I was incredibly grateful for her surprising kindness, and I had the best nap ever and I truly needed it. Thank you, again, Kara!
The room and condo complex is exactly the same as shown in the pictures and within walking distance to various local activities such as fresh food markets, public transport, 7-Eleven shops, famous BBQ chicken restaurants and other food nearby on Chan Road throughout the day. If needed, food delivery services such as FoodPanda, Grab, PandaMart / GrabMart, and others, can easily deliver necessities directly to your building in safe and secure manners. And it’s just a 15-20 minute walk along wide, clean and unencumbered sidewalks (a rare thing in Bangkok) to the busier Sathorn and Silom areas nearby.
The 1 bedroom studio was fresh, welcoming and sparkling clean with all essentials in order. When I arrived at the room, I found that it smelled great and featured simple, modern designs and amenities such as a plush foot carpet in front of the sparkling bathroom and a line of complimentary argan oil shower products. The Wi-Fi was high speed (~30Mbps+) with a strong and consistent signal throughout the room, which made it easy to get work done, stream entertainment, new, or sports games in HD, or hold conference calls with friends, colleagues or family. I was especially impressed with the cooking utensils, and as an amateur chef, I appreciated the incredible wok skillet, utensils and clean cooking space, which I used to prepare stir frys on multiple occasions. Even the hot water kettle seemed built to last, and I appreciated the provision of such high quality amenities and the trust Kara places in her guests to maintain a clean space.
I also appreciated the little things such as full bottles of dishwashing soap, new sponges, a vaccum cleaner, and mini packs of laundry detergent for guests who might be tired, and looking to unpack, relax, and respectfully enjoy the space upon arrival. The water pressure was great, and the shower had cold to hot water, and even a lovely massage setting for the showerhead. It felt as if the space was fully stocked and prepared for me to have a great time.
Furthermore, this particular unit was a corner unit near the elevator on a high floor with a great, relaxing view of the swimming pool and foyer area in the center of the condo complex - and it felt like all of these convenient features were selected by choice and not an afterthought.
I should note that I needed to extend my stay and Kara was very understanding responsive and open to providing an affordable rate. Throughout my stay, she was very communicative, open to honest feedback, and available to address any questions or concerns. She was also flexible with check-in and check-out time, which was extremely helpful.
I would definitely stay with her again and I might even stay for longer. Thank you Kara!
